I had the same problem and I got round it easily by doing
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/socket.mysql /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
When I checked out the system after the fault came up, there was a
socket.mysql
but no mysql.sock, so I created a link. The better way is to modify the
startup
so that it's picking up the correct file, but I'm short of time at the
moment.
